Swann was released from WWE last month following a suspension after his arrest for an alleged domestic abuse incident with his wife in December. The charges against Swann were dropped, but WWE announced shortly after that he was no longer with the company.

Swann is booked for upcoming events for Crash in Mexico and House of Hardcore in the next month. He was also reportedly backstage at a PWG show a couple of weeks ago.

Swann posted this, referencing CZW wrestler Nick Gage, who was sentenced to prison for bank robbery in 2010.

Oh we cant a accused person on our show….oh lets get this bank robber on lol
